I may regret sticking my nose in here. Having been involved in the repair of
such
things on our 1968 A30 #312. We have replaced our cockpit soul and repaired
side
deck de lamination in areas of the non skid with good result. It is not as
scary
as it looks... just time consuming. We did not cut away the wet de-laminated
areas  of the deck  ( not true of the cockpit sole) but drilled 1/4 inch
holes on
a 1 inch grid over the wet areas and then with lamps dried the areas till
the
moisture meter showed an acceptable content. We then injected as much epoxy
resin
as the delaminated area would except and filled and smoothed the area with
thickened epoxy. Over which we applied a new non skid surface with mron(sp)
and
Awlgrip's silica. We did this on the entire deck  and cockpit. It looked
great
when complete. Drying was not a fast process it took days and the project
took
alot of time away from sailing.

Kindest Regards- Greg

PPS: Same for the cockpit sole.
